Honesty at the table??

It was.  You had a lucky escape.

However, on the Sunday I"d missed the buffet (which had some chicken wings) and mentioned it to someone and was overheard by a barman.  He then came through 5 minutes later with a plate of food for me (from the buffet) with some spring rolls and chicken wings.  It was fine and the gesture from the barman was much appreciated - he certainly didn"t need to do that.

I had another great weekend.  Yes, there were a few idiots trying to spoil it for others (and from the sound of things achieved that, which is a crying shame), some of the dealers were shocking, the buffet on the Saturday was, well, inedible - BUT, it was great to see many of the same old faces, meet some new ones, and I even appreciate the bringing forward of the dinner break to ensure I was still in come the break.

Tighty and Des (and the others from APAT who help run these events/delete update threads) again did a great job and I don"t think anyone blames them for the inadequacies of the Maybury or for the behaviour of a couple of idiots.  If it was up to me, APAT will find an alternative venue for next year.  Preferably in England .

As for the hand in the OP, if the recipient of the extra change realised the mistake and then tried to profit from it he should be ashamed.  If it had been me, I"d have returned the chips even after the TD had ruled that it was too late and nothing could be done.  I echo George"s comment about Geo.  A true gent and a proper APATer.  I"d like to think that 99% of the APAT members would act in the same way as Geo did.

im sure the **** cards me n u got really were the reason for us still bein in lol.

Haha!!  So true.  Mine were worse, of course .

It should still be warm and edible ffs.

I suppose thats what you get for taking poker in to the colonies  

Well, the best food has been in Dublin and Cardiff and the worst was at the Vic

[Honeybadg]

... the best bit about the chip set was that people had been eating the chips (presumably to get the taste of the pies out of their mouths) ... they were very special pies ... can we find out where to get more ... I believe they could have uses (in rodent control)?

I believe they taste better with some sauce!

L

ye i fairly enjoyed some pie with my sauce!

had to cake the thing in it to digest it.

also no serving utensils for the likes of the chips :/

Serving Utensils for chips = HANDS.

I was on table 2 and  wittnessed the hand. The recipient of the extra chips made the final table. He made it very obvious that after the ruling he would not be relinquishing his extra chips.

This makes it a million times worse imo, if he would have been crippled (as was posted in another reply) without these chips then he has essentially done someone else out of making the money. No doubt he would"ve had to do some work after this incident to make it to the final table but the fact still remains that he shouldn"t have had that opportunity. He"s a blatant cheat and nothing more than a lowly thief IMO.

Why can"t we name this guy?

I recognize one of the faces from my starting table (which was the table in question) among the final table finishers but I don"t want to mention anybody"s name incase I"m wrong. Anyone who knows for definite should name and shame though imo... Reap what you sow and all that.

[APAT]

I can confirm that the sort of behaviour outlined in this thread will not be tolerated at an APAT event. 

If an APAT organiser had been made aware of the issues during the event then we would have spoken to the individuals involved directly at that time.  If any of you become aware of this sort of thing happening in future, please take five minutes out to locate an organiser and inform him of your concerns.

However, even after the event we can and will take action to send a clear message about what sort of behaviour is not acceptable.  We will be taking to those concerned where appropriate. 

Please pm me the name of the player who received the wrong amount of chips back in the original post.

We will post an update on the actions we are taking here when our investigations are complete.

I was going to post something light hearted on this thread,but i"m not even sure now if i was
actually at the Maybury the weekend,or indeed where i was when all these events were taking place!.
But,the above post tells me things are a little serious,so i wont.

i say play in the circus next year. that was a nice place. better chips, better tables and able to fit 200 runners....the Apat mob who went down there would agree. About 20 or so of us i think...

I use the Circus for my Office Poker fortnightly tournaments and I agree - it"s a nicer room with better facilities, mainly because it"s only 2 years old. I believe it can take 150 players.
